President Blair

[EMDEE]

I see that Tony Blair is likely to be supported by the UK government as official candidate for President of the European Council if and when the Treaty of Lisbon is ratified, and the post is thereby created.

We've had him (and Cherie) for ten years. Is that not enough?

Well, it should all go ahead, he gets my vote! He would be the perfect symbol of this current Government’s arrogant disregard for democracy. And Mandy should be his First Lady.

According to some newspaper articles this past week, Sarkosy has withdrawn his backing of Blair, and it is highly unlikely that he will get his nose in the door without such backing.
A Spaniard is likely to get the French support instead, despite getting chased out of his own goverment position.
Maybe Cherie can make a Human Rights case on Tony's behalf, as it would seem he is being denied aceess to the train!

Maybe Cherie can make a Human Rights case on Tony's behalf, as it would seem he is being denied aceess to the train! The Gravy Train that is!

I suspect that may be beyond the skills of even the great Tony Booth's daughter, given that he took us into an illegal war in Iraq and has been such a resounding failure in his 'gravy train' position as Peace Envoy to the Middle East. Did he ever actually go there under that title?

Not in my name...
